State of the Union Housing Affordability Plan

What can we learn about housing from the State of the Union?
Today, we’re breaking down the key takeaways for the mortgage and real estate world — from affordability measures, to first‑time homebuyer support, to what falling interest rates might actually mean for demand and home prices. Rich unpacks the administration’s proposals, explains how the economy’s “K‑shape” is shaping consumer confidence, and shares what loan officers and buyers should really be paying attention to.

• Why inventory might increase even as demand rises
• The K‑shaped economy and what buyers are actually feeling
